1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeTo construct an integrative radiopathomics model for predicting progression-free survival (PFS) in nonmetastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients.

methods357 NPC patients who underwent pretreatment MRI and pathological whole-slide imaging (WSI) were included in this study and randomly divided into two groups: a training set (n = 250) and validation set (n = 107). Radiomic features extracted from MRI were selected using the minimum redundancy maximum relevance and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator methods. The pathomics signature based on WSI was constructed using a deep learning architecture, the Swin Transformer. The radiopathomics model was constructed by incorporating three feature sets: the radiomics signature, pathomics signature, and independent clinical factors. The prognostic efficacy of the model was assessed using the concordance index (C-index). Kaplan-Meier curves for the stratified risk groups were tested by the log-rank test.

resultsThe radiopathomics model exhibited superior predictive performance with C-indexes of 0.791 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.724-0.871) in the training set and 0.785 (95% CI: 0.716-0.875) in the validation set compared to any single-modality model (radiomics: 0.619, 95% CI: 0.553-0.706; pathomics: 0.732, 95% CI: 0.662-0.802; clinical model: 0.655, 95% CI: 0.581-0.728) (all, P < 0.05). The radiopathomics model effectively stratified patients into high- and low-risk groups in both the training and validation sets (P < 0.001).

conclusionThe developed radiopathomics model demonstrated its reliability in predicting PFS for NPC patients. It effectively stratified individual patients into distinct risk groups, providing valuable insights for prognostic assessment.
